Crocodiles kill hundreds of people each year. While most of these attacks occur in Africa and Asia, these powerful reptiles are also found in parts of South America, Australia, and the southern United States. Crocodilians typically do not include humans in their diet, but in truth they will eat just about anything if given the opportunity.
Crocodilians injure people under several sets of circumstances:
- Territorial defense
- Nest defense
- Self defense
- Predation
- By accident
- In the course of handling by people
